courage teachers for a job well done. THE PLAN WILL assess nonpermanent teachers those in their first or second year in the CCSC semi-permanent teachers those in their third, fourth, or fifth year in the CCSC and permanent teachers those who have been granted tenure. Teachers on a temporary contract will go through one summative review during the contracted period. First-year teachers will go through one formative and one summative review by Nov. 15. Second-, fourth-, and fifth-year teachers will undergo both reviews by Jan. 1. Third-year teachers undergo both reviews by March 1. Meanwhile, permanent teachers receive one formative evaluation each year, and one summative evaluation every other year, by March 1. Upon receipt of the sixth contract, the teacher is placed on a yearly rotating evaluation schedule. BUT WHAT IS A Cloverdale teacher supposed to do, and what items will be reviewed? According to the job description, a teacher reports to the building principal or vocational director, and the job goal is “To ensure that children achieve objectives for academic, vocational, social, emotional, and physical competencies according to individual needs and learning potentials.” Among some of the particulars in the job description are: • ‘The teacher...is obliged to the learner to recognize and to understand his unique nature, to promote his worth and dignity, and to strive for his educational success.” • ‘The teacher provides, when possible, a variety of appropriate techniques and methods and will select and use materials which are compatible With the curriculum, the educational objectives, and the needs and abilities of the pupils.” • “The teacher will make every

City Council
Greencastle is big enough nor has it shown the kind of growth potential warranted for such an undertaking. THE CITY PLAN Commission, as reported in Tuesday’s BannerGraphic, selected Wabash Scientific and Michael Shaver, former head of the Community Development Division of the Indiana Department of Commerce, to update the city plan. Shaver had submitted a fee range of $26,700$38,500 for the proposed work. Although a committee of Plan Commission members will negotiate with Shaver, the City Council will have the final vote on approving expenditure of funds. And if interest money from the Industrial Development Fund (IBM donation) is used, as has been suggested, the Citizens Advisory Commission for Industrial Development (CACFID) must also approve the expenditure. Bill Dory, Main Street Greencastle project manager who did much of the legwork in securing candidates for the Comprehensive City Plan effort, said a 10- to 12month project is anticipated. That should help the city be more flexible in funding the work, Dory said, noting that the fee will be paid overlapping two budget years. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the City Council: Unanimously adopted Ordinance 1989-14, concerning the voluntary annexation of 17 acres of property north of State Road 240 on Round Bam Road. The former Longden family property is the site of a proposed 208-unit apartment complex being developed by Uiw Gerald K. Pedigo Corp., Indianapolis. The land is contiguous to present city limits and will require no additional city utilities, with the possible exception of a street light at the Round Bam Road entrance. A Pedigo spokesman said he expects groundbreaking in June or July with the first building up and in use by year’s end. The project could be done in phases, with approximately 100 units in each phase. Unanimously adopted on second and final reading Ordinance 1989-12, which delineates specific wages for pool lifeguards under the 1989 Salary Ordinance. A guard with a water safety instructor certificate will be paid $3.65 per hour, while a guard with an advanced lifesaving certificate with get $3.50 per hour, according to the or-

reasonable effort to know his pupils and will carefully evaluate and report their growth and progress.” • “The teacher will organize and manage his class in order that the purposes of instruction are promoted and can be achieved.” • ‘The teacher will provide special assistance to those pupils who are in need of it and/or who request such help.” • “The teacher will regard personal information concerning the pupil or the pupil’s family as confidential and will use such information only as an aid in helping the pupil to attain appropriate educational goals.” • “The teacher will, by example, encourage neatness and personal hygiene habits on the part of students.” AND HOW WILL administrators know if a teacher is succeeding? The evaluation program includes indicators of teacher effectiveness under the headings of knowledge and training, classroom climate and management, methods and techniques, planning, professional qualities in the classroom, professional attributes, professional renewal, teacher-student relationships, teacher-parent relationships, teacher-teacher relationships, and teacher-ad-ministrator relationships. The evaluation program was constructed using the latest research data and current theory, according to SupL McKinney. He told the board that the Cloverdale Classroom Teachers Association had input into the program and approved of it The board adopted the program unanimously. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board: Recognized students of the month recipients Brian Brinkman, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Brinkman, Route 2, Cloverdale; Brian Lynch, son of Mrs. and Mrs.

dinance. APPROVED unanimously on second and final reading Ordinance 1989-13, which deletes references in the city code to licensing of bowling alleys, pinball machines, pool tables and “picture shows.” It eliminates Chapters 570, 572,580 and 582 of the code. Endorsed unanimously Resolution 1989-11, approving the statement of benefits for Indiana National Bank, which owns $6 million in molds and equipment to be leased to Happico. The statement of benefits approval is a required step of the tax-abatement process. The $6 million in equipment approved Tuesday night, City Attorney Wilson said, is in addition to the equipment specified in an April resolution involving Happico and the Wilmington Trust Co. Heard Mayor Harmless report that Happico has begun hiring workers, many of whom have been sent to Japan (and have returned) for training. The plant is still under construction on the south side of Indianapolis Road on the former Rafferty farm property. The western edge of the old Rafferty property, Harmless noted, was recently cleaned up through the efforts of the Greencastle Development Center and Fire Chief Bob Elmore. PASSED ON first reading Ordinance 1989-15, vacating the alley between St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church and the old middle school gym recently purchased by the church. The alley runs east and west between College Avenue and Spring Street Don Gedert, representing the church, told the Council that current plans are for the old gym to be razed and a parking lot developed. The church will have to allow Public Service Indiana to retain its right-of-way through the alley until it makes other arrangements with the utility, it was noted. Tuesday’s meeting also served as a public hearing on the public alley vacation. Second reading is due at the Council’s June meeting. Heard Mayor Harmless announce that part-time assistant fire inspector Charlie Evans, who helped get an aggressive city fire inspection program off the ground last winter, has resigned to take a job with Charming Shoppes. With Fire Department staffing now at 12, however, Lt. Bill O’Brien, fire inspector, has resumed the city in-

spection effort O’Brien has been concentrating on DePauw University fraternities and sororities so that problems can be pointed out and corrective action taken over the summer. Heard Police Chief Jack Hanlon detail 392 complaints for the month of April, up 50 from 1988. He said the department’s new 1989 Ford Crown Victoria squad car is on the road. The 1988 Ford, he said, has 56,000 miles on it, while the other patrol car has more than 110,000. Hanlon also noted that some 48 abandoned vehicles have been tagged in a renewed effort to rid streets of inoperable and/or disabled cars and trucks. Compliance has been good, the chief said, noting that towing procedures will begin next week for those vehicles not in compliance. HEARD WATER Supt. Leon Phillips report that the 46.5 million gallons of water pumped during April represents a two-million-gal-lon jump over March. He said the water table locally has recovered from last year’s drought. “Everything’s in good shape,” he said. Heard Sewage Plant Supt. Charlene Nichols report that her crew has begun repairs to the older portion of the wastewater treatment plant Cement work has been done and old tanks are being sandblasted. The average daily flow during April, she said, was 1.4 million gallons. Approved several street closings at the request of the mayor on behalf of the organizers of the May 12-14 Preservation Fair. From 5 p.m. Thursday to 6 p.m. Sunday, the east and north sides of the square will be closed to traffic. That’s Indiana (Washington to Franklin) and Franklin (Jackson to Indiana). Also to be closed during a portion of the fair are South Indiana (Walnut to Washington) and on Saturday only, South Indiana (Walnut to Poplar) during the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast at the firehouse. BESIDES MAYOR Harmless, Attorney Wilson and Councilmen Conway and Murray, those present Tuesday night were Councilmen Bob Sedlack, Mike Rokicki and Sheri Roach, City Clerk Judith Berry.

Ist-Division rankings for N. Putnam For the 19th consecutive year, the North Putnam School Band received a First Division in the April 15 band contest sponsored by the Indiana State School Music Association. BANDS, ORCHESTRAS and choirs from the central area of the state participated in the event held at Greenwood High School. Each organization performed for a panel of three judges who rated the groups with a divisional scale from one to five. North Putnam, entered in Group II (based on difficulty of the music), performed “Bandology,” “Folk Song Suite” by Vaughan Williams, and “Erocia Overature” by Beethoven and arranged by Skornicka. Each of the three judges awarded the band a First Division rating. The 130-member North Putnam Band also earned a First Division rating for its sightreading effort. After performing the three pieces selected in advance, the band was given only a 10 minute period to familiarize itself with the new music provided during the sightreading portion of the contest. ON APRIL 28-29 the North Putnam Band traveled to Nashville, Tenn., where they presented a concert at the Clover Bottom Development Center for the mentally retarded. They also toured Mammoth Cave and visited Opryland Park. More than 63 million Americans have one or more forms of heart or blood vessel disease according to the American Heart Association.
